I PROCESS OF PRODUCING LINCBUSTA, LINOLEU'M, OR LIKE DIAPEBEID-LIKECLOTH.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 7, 1913.

Application filed September 22-, 1909. Serial No. 519,021.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL WERNER, a subject of the German Emperor, andresident of Bremen, Germany, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Processes of Producing Lincrusta, Linoleum, or the likeDiapered-Like Cloth, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved process of diapering and embossinglincrusta, linoleum or the like so as to produce onthe show side thereofthe natural effect or appearance of cloth. In this connection theinvention has in view the production of a dull, lusterless show side forthe base, quite similar to the appearance of cloth.

In the accompanying drawing, the single figure is a sectional viewschematically illustrating the improved process.

The process is quite simple and essentially consists in placing on the'lincrusta or other base, upon the show side thereof, linen or any othercloth, and upon the latter a diapering tissue, such as jute or the liketo forma pattern base, then pressing or rolling the same upon thelinoleum and afterward pulling off both tissues from the base, thusproducing the result above referred to. The

pressing of only one diapering tissue u on the base would not secure thesame e' ect at all for the reason that in pulling off a single diaperingtissue from the base the surface of the latter is torn more or less andconsequently prevents securing the results accomplished by this rocess,and furthermore, ifthe tissue itsel is quite light and of the fibrousnature of jute, it would .be impossible to neatly and cleanly pull thesame off. It is therefore important to the successful carrying out ofthe invention that the combination of the two tissues be utilized, andit will also be understood that the lincrust'a or other material to bediapered can be produced in various colors.-

Gnono ERNST.

By way of illustrating the foregoing, ma

erence is made to the figure of the drawing wherein the letter adesignates the linoleum,

lincrusta, or equivalent material to be worked, and which maybe providedon the underside thereof with a web or other fabric a. The linoleum orequivalent material a is fed to the rolls b-b together with a 4 breadthof linen or similar cloth, desi by the letter I), and also with a breath of jute' 0 arranged over the linen facing b. After passing throughthe rolls, both the cloth I) and the jute 0 are removed from the surfaceof the base material a.

What I claim is:

l. The hereindescribed process of diapering and embossin linoleum orlike material in a cloth-like e ect, which consists in first placing acloth facing over the show-side of a base of the linoleum or likematerial, then arranging a diapering tissue on the cloth facing andsimultaneously subjecting ated the two to pressure upon the saidshow-side of the base, and finally stripping the superimposed clothfacing and tissue from the surface of the base.

2. The hereindescribed process of diapering and embossing in the sameoperation, linoleum or equivalent material in a clothlike effect, whichconsists in placing a facin of linen over the show-side of the base 0the, linoleum or like material, then arranging a diaperingtissue of juteon the linen facing and simultaneously subjecting the two to pressureupon the said show-side of the base, and subsequently stripping thesuperimposed linen and jute from the surface of the base.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.
